Re# 6063521-6              
For Normal express SF trains when rakes with sufficient number of coaches are available they will convert into LHB rake. For GR to be LHB fied SCR need allocation of 44 3ACE coaches for Vskp and 16 3ACE for Benguluru including spares making 60 3ACE and 6SLR/EOG which has to be done by RB. Without RB allocation of coaches and directives or orders how can SCR implement it? It's simple will you do the project or work on your own without directions from your team leader or Manager same with SCR . We can't blame SCR for surveys,new projects, doubling, delay or pirority in project or funds flow which is done by RB.

Re# 6063521-9              
12703 rake set has around 40, 3E coaches. Now even if SCR manages to get 30 3A coaches from IR, then GR might get the 3E coach. Because 3E coach in 12703 should not be permanent. It is a SF train with long route.

How are boardings and deboardings for this train for both sides in BZA ? As the train arrives at odd timings if there are not many boardings & deboardings, it can be be rerouted via Rayanapadu avoiding loco reversal at BZA with atleast 30-40 mts speedup in both directions by reducing slack. Must be given aggressive timetable, entire route is fit for 130 Kmph train is full AC, distance can easily be covered in less than 10 hrs 15 minutes.

Re# 6030762-1               Past Edits
They are 30-50 boarding and deboarding at Vijayawada in both directions and the stopage is commercially justified regarding revenue and number of footfalls. The bypass changes just before entering VJA PF hardly 1.5km from PF and train is cleared in 10-15mins as different locos pull in opp directions. The halt time will be shifted to Rayanpadu so effectively reduction is only 15-20 mins. Regarding speedup cannot expect anything in SCR as many daily intercity and overnight regional trains are being cancelled from past one year for freight services in backdoor new name citing Rolling Corridor Block.
